I would have thought Ringo would have fit into the Rolling Stones quite well, Charlie Watts notwithstanding.
I’m more a Beatles than a Stones person, so I’d prefer to keep them separate.
He’s right, Lennon first, Harrison second, Ringo third, Macca, not.
Keith Richards looks like a gargoyle, but both he and Mick come across like good guys. I pray for their salvation and believe they have or will get saved and go to heaven. Rolling into Heaven...
Weird statement likely taken out of context
That said, of course he’d want George. He was a great musician and a great songwriter who got shoved aside
“Something”. “Here Comes the Sun” “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” just to start.
He created “All Things Must Pass” with Derek and the Dominoes (minus Duane).
Got the Traveling Wilburys together.
Even the Queen snubbed him for knighthood. BS
Kieth knows what he was
Prince did-

Ringo was the only rocker in the band. I love Ringo.
It would have sounded a bit more respectful if Keith Richards had admitted he had fantasies of being a Beatle, rather than suggesting the Beatles would have wanted to join the Rolling Stones.
Didn’t the Stones just announce their Wheelchair Tour?
There’s something beautiful about the raw purity of the Stones. The Beatles boys are more polished. I can’t see them mixing. However, the Traveling Wilburies seem to prove me wrong.
The Beatles didn’t fit well with each other. They rather quickly broke up.
George, “the quiet Beatle” would have fit in anywhere.
John would have had trouble with Mick. And trouble with Brian Jones, though he’d think better of Jones after he died and John’s resentment was directed at Mick. Mick would have had trouble with John as well.
Had that gone forward, obviously Reefer Kichards would not have stayed on, but Clapton had just dissolved Cream. Who knows?
When Harrison (temporarily) left The Beatles on January 10, 1969, "Let It Be" shows Lennon/McCartney at a late lunch discussing bringing in Clapton to replace George.
Keith is delusional. None of the Beatles would fit in musically with the Rolling Stones for very long.
All one has to do is to look at Rolling Stone songs vs John Lennon and George Harrison songs. Some intersection but not much. The Beatles individually and as a group focused on vocal harmonies.
Several biographies noted times which various members of the two groups met as friends or even in friendly collaboration.
This article cites background singing and playing.

He’s probably right about John Lennon. He prefered a harder sound to theirvsongs, while Paul prefered melodies.
Methinks Keith Richards will outline all of us.
